An experimental investigation was conducted to figure out the effects of the inlet air temperature on the combustion efficiency using the fuel grains which were highly loaded with boron carbide. The results showed that the normalized combustion efficiency increased with the inlet air temperature, apparently the result of enhanced combustion of the boron particles. Even though the combustion efficiency is increased, the overall efficiency through the semi-empirical method, is decreased with the increasing inlet air temperature. Brayton cycle analysis has been performed using the heat input parameter and combustor Mach number, those two parameters are important role for the performance and similar trends are shown at the experimental results.

We have studied the electrical characteristics of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) ambiploar thin film transistors (TET'S)using 100ppm boron-doped a-Si:H as an active layer. The enhancement of drain current due to the double injection behavior has been observed in the p-channel operation of the TFT. The drain current decreases with time in streched exponential form when the gate voltage is positive. The result indicates that the dangling bonds created by electron accumulation show identical time dependence as the diffusion of hydrogen in the film. We observed the experimental evidence that the doping efficiency changes either when the gate bias is applied or when the light is illuminated on boron-doped a-Si:H.

현재 양산 중인 대부분의 결정질 실리콘 태양전지는 p-type 실리콘 기판의 전면에 인 (phosphorus) 을 확산시켜 에미터로 사용한 스크린 프린티드 태양전지 (Screen Printed Solar Cells) 이다. 위 태양전지의 단점은 p-type 기판의 광열화현상 (Light Induced Degradation) 문제와 후면 알루미늄 금속 전극으로 인한 휨 현상 등이 있다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해 n-type 기판의 전면에 보론 (Boron) 을 도핑하여 에미터로 사용하고, 후면 전계 (Back Surface Field) 로 인 (Phosphorus)을 도핑한 태양전지에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 본 연구에서는, 튜브 전기로 (tube furnace) 를 이용해 n-type 실리콘 웨이퍼 전면에 보론 도핑을 하고 이와 마찬가지로 웨이퍼 후면에 인 도핑을 실시하였다. 그리고 전면과 후면의 패시베이션을 위해 얇게 산화막을 형성한 후 실리콘 질화막 (SiNx) 을 증착하였다. 에미터와 후면 전계 그리고 패시베이션 층의 특성을 평가하기 위해 QSSPC (Quasi-Steady-State PhotoConductance) 로 소수반송자 수명 (Minority Carrier Lifetime) 과 포화 전류 (Saturation current) 값을 측정하였다.

The analytical modeling has been established on the self-propagation of intermetallic reaction in the spanwise direction of highly reactive boron and titanium nanoscale multilayers. Assuming that the reaction obeys Arrhenius kinetics, two-dimensional computations are carried out for heat and atomic species diffusion with exothermic reaction model in order to simulate the self-propagation of intermetallic reaction. The effects of bimetallic layer thickness and thickness ratio on the reaction propagation speed are tested and discussed in addition to the assessment of pre-mixing zone effects.

Electrical transport and thermally induced metastability in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film transistors (TFTs) using boron-doped amorphous silicon as an active layer have been studied. The device characteristics n-channel and p-channel operations. The thermal quenching experiments on amorphous silicon-silicon nitride ambipolar TFT give clear evidence for the co-existence of two distinct metastable changes. The densities of metastable active dopants and dangling bonds increase with the quenching temperature. On the other hand, the interface state density appears to decrease with increasing quenching temperature.

The propellants used in the gas generator of the ducted rocket are fuel-rich propellants, which contain an excessive amount of metal fuel and a small amount of oxidizing agent compared to general solid rocket propellants. In this paper, boron powder and MgAl(Magnesium-Aluminium alloy) were applied to produce fuel-rich propellants. The optimum formulation was determined by characterizing these metal fuel-rich propellants. Analysis of combustion products in the gas generators confirmed that the fuel-rich propellants containing fine boron powder itself instead of boron-bead could be useful in gas generators.

In long-period fiber grating (LPFG) to be made up optical fiber sensors, resonance coupling occurs between the forward-propagating core mode and cladding modes at the wavelength that satisfy the Phase matching condition. The resonance wavelength and the coupling strength depends strongly on the external environment like temperature, strain, and ambient index. These characteristics can be utilized for various applications as optical fiber sensors. fabrication of optical fiber gratings is typically based on the photosensitivity effect, i.e. the permanent change of the refractive index upon irradiation of the UV beam, and therefore, fabrication of the optical fiber with high phososensitivity is an important part of the research on optical fiber gratings. In this work, we measured the effort of to-doping of boron on the index difference between the core and cladding of the optical fiber and the sensitivity of the LPFC to the temperature and bending changes. We observed that the index difference between the core and the cladding decreased by $(1.69{\times}10^{-4}/SCCM)$ and the temperature sensitivity of the resonance wavelength shirt decreased by $(0.01145nm/^{\circ}C/SCCM)$. The dependence or the bending-induced changes or the transmission characteristics of LPFG on the tore-cladding index difference was investigated experimentally. The measurement results indicate that the bending sensitivity increases as the index difference decreases.

$Li_2B_4O_7$ and $Na_2B_4O_7$ were synthesized with boron isotopic standard material for the measurement of boron isotopes of positive ions (PTIMS) such as $Li_2BO_2{^+}$ (mass 56, 57) and $Na_2BO_2{^+}$ (mass 88, 89) instead of boron mass 10 and 11. The negative ions (NTIMS) such as $^{10}BO_2{^-}$ and $^{11}BO_2{^-}$(mass 42와 43) were also measured with the same boron isotopic standard material. The precision and accuracy were compared between each method, and prescan of isobaric effect was studied. Good result was obtained from NTIMS method which provided the stable and enough peak intensities with good precision and accuracy. The measurement of boron isotopes were performed in ground water sample with about 8 ng-B ($5{\mu}L$ sample solution) obtained from IAEA for international inter-comparison analysis. The standard deviation was found to be 0.03%. Boron content of this ground water was measured using the NTIMS-IDMS. The result was $1.65{\pm}0.003ug-B/mL$ which was better precision compared to the ICP-AES result.
